We belleve making that test in a proper, dignified and sincere manner, would be the act of a progressive communi- ty seeking to find out {f we are obliged to do something that brings confusion to the majority of the people of that community. We believe that the law 1s unconstitutional, as a law would be unconstitutional which prohibited a man, by word of mouth, telling an- other the time and using daylight saving time as the basis of his in- formation. But we do not want New Britain to stand out as a city which defles the law of the state. We do not want the people of the city to be stamped as people who defy the law. As we have already advised our readers we belleve in setting our clocks on standard time and moving up our hour of working. Tf this is not done generally—and it has not been done generally—we admit that private clocks, with which the law has nothing to do, may well be set on daylight time. But in the city's official action the greatest care must be taken to have it understood the setting of a publicly displayed clock on daylight time will be done only for the honest purpose of finding out if this may be done legally— and the doing of it legally would come only if the present law is declared unconstitutional. The matter will come before the common council. A plan will be pre- sented which has been carefully thought out by the city's legal ad- viger. This plan should. be given great weight and any amendments to it should not be adopted without full consideration and his aproval. This is the point to be emphasized, New Britain should not be placed in the wrong| light. We want to test the law. Let it be tested in a proper way. This s a technical, legal matter, and the corporation counsel's advice should be given great weight. GRADUATION TIME Many men in middle life or old age have some pretty serious moments at this time of year. Young people are being graduated from schools all over the country., The older ones, those " and | wany They may feel that 45 the young people today are starting | years age out 1o ponguer the world, se th way make a fresh stast, real they de now the ehances that lay leaving | | sehool or college, and determining to e them when were they make the mest of themselves as they | hope tie will develop. | younger peaple mistakes the o '] B avolding the made, and prefiti by knowiedge that they, th are the hope the | have YOunger world o of | CALLED INTO ACTION Never have men of this country Klllw-l when the eall eame to defend | the country failed to do their share, Defense of country has meant in the past, geners ally, the shouldering of arms, first the musket; later the medern I rifle and the But men and | Just as deeply by 4 call to aetion in | defense of the country requiring neither rifle, nor gas-mask nor the making of surgieal dreasings. The emergeney which inspired that eall may not be as apparent as would be # threatening enemy foree, but the subtilty of it might make {t even more to be feared, ald-time woarlng of gas-mask women may he meved than defense of its physical bounda. ries—the “country” which is the for- elgn enemy’'s obhjective, 1t means de- fense of the prineiples upon which it is founded, the country's creed, the traditions and ideals which have per- petuated it, And it is to the defense of these principles, traditions, ideals ~all of which may be summed up in the spirit of the Constitution—that the call to action now is heard ‘In hearts of true American men and women, and true men and women who have made the United States their own land by adoption. To obey this call there is no need to prepare material ammunition, to gather and to be mustered in. No great assembly halls or armories are needed, The preparation may be made in the secret closet at first, then in the opening among men and women learned in the practical history of the events of the day and the past, and then, more in the open, in the places where grave decisions are made which decide the country’s destiny. A call to political understanding and action; a call to arousing interest in men and measures and motives; a call to think deeply of the danger that threatens our traditions, ideals and princi- ples—these are the calls being heard today. If they are not heeded by honest, intelligent people the bul- warks of this country of ours will crumble. We will be wide open to that other sort of attack from with- out which will again send the men to the rifies, the women to the rooms where are made the bandages to stop the blood of our young men. + OROSSING THE STREET There are people in this city who object to the white lines on the pave- ments in the crowded districts in- dicating where it is best for all con- cerned to cross the street, They be- lieve it takes away from their right to personal liberty of choice. There will be people who will objéct to the “Cross Here" signs which are plan- ned here for such spots where people should cross in order to facilitate traf- fic at the same time safeguard the lives and limbs of those crossing the street, One can not fall to have an under- standing of this mental attitude, and yet there is a way out. The streets be- long to the people.

If one impresses upon u« boy the fact that he should begin to assume man's responsibility, he will take pride in assuming that responsibility, of them might have men at Clayton crossing when those signal devices did not work.

Detroit, June 18.—Thousands of emigrants from foreign countries, many of them described as penniless and who plan to States from Canada across the Detroit river, are doomed to diappointment according to Dr. P. L. Prentis, chief of the immigration service here. Dr. Prentis has received officlal notifica- tion from Washington that these im- migrants will make an attempt to enter this country.

July 1 marks the date on which the gates will be opened for quotas for the new year. “But comparatively few of these thousands of immigrants camping in Canada can enter the United States through Detroit,” Dr. Prentis said. “We can handle only about 200 a day but we probably will not be permitted to allow that number to enter through the gateway. Only 15,468 immigrants can enter the United States in a single ;month and Detroit's share of that 'will be but a few hundred.” Eight Priests Ordained At Ossining on Sunday Ossining, N.
